As you sit on the deck at the Palm Pavilion, paddle fans lazily spinning overhead, you see a simple, long sweep of wide, sandy beach, a few whipped-cream clouds floating overhead, and the blue rush of water rolling in from the horizon. A little breeze whispers its tune. The sand is so fine it feels like powder. Order a cold beer and a tuna salad sandwich, finish with frozen chocolate ice cream, and saunter back outside to lie for hours in a comfy chair. Watch the sun migrate across the sky. Isn't this why we live in Florida?
